December 10, 2025. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.Patent ReferencesFanless convection cooling design for personal computers Cooling structure for power supply device Dual filtered airflow systems for cooling computer components, with optimally placed air vents and switchboard control panel Cooling system for computer Cooling system for electronic packages Fanless cooling system for computer Cooling apparatus for electronic devices Microcomputer heat dissipation system Server radiator Integrated micro channels and manifold/plenum using separate silicon or low-cost polycrystalline silicon InventorApplicationNo. 11298217 filed on 12/10/2005US Classes:361/699, Liquid361/695, Fan or blower361/696, With heat exchanger unit361/697, With heat sink or cooling fins361/698, And liquid165/80.3, Air cooled, including fins165/80.4, Liquid cooled165/104.33, Cooling electrical device165/168, CONDUIT WITHIN, OR CONFORMING TO, PANEL OR WALL STRUCTURE174/16.1, By ventilation or gas circulation174/16.3, With heat sink174/15.1, With cooling or fluid feeding, circulating or distributing174/15.2, By heat pipe257/706, With heat sink257/708, Entirely of metal except for feedthrough257/714, Liquid coolant257/E23.098, By flowing liquids (EPO)361/690, Air361/687, With cooling means257/717Isolation of cooling means (e.g., heat sink) by an electrically insulating element (e.g., spacer)ExaminersPrimary: Chervinsky, BorisAssistant: Smith, Tyrone Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH05K 7/20AbstractA power supply housing (12) is mounted inside of a computer housing (10). Housing (12). It includes components (34) that generate heat when the computer is being used. The power supply housing (12) is sealed in order to make it leak proof. A radiator is positioned outside of the power supply housing (12). It includes a coil assembly having an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to an outlet leading out from the power supply housing (12). The outlet is connected to the inlet of the power supply housing (12). During use of the computer, a cooling fluid is circulated through the coil assembly of the radiator and the power supply housing (12). A fan is positioned outwardly of the radiator and is used to cool the cooling fluid when it is in the coil assembly of the radiator.Field of SearchWith cooling meansAir Fan or blower With heat exchanger unit With heat sink or cooling fins And liquid Liquid Hinge By ventilation or gas circulation With heat sink With cooling or fluid feeding, circulating or distributing By heat pipe Cooling electrical device Liquid cooled Air cooled, including fins CONDUIT WITHIN, OR CONFORMING TO, PANEL OR WALL STRUCTURE Housing for computer or computer related equipment With heat sink Entirely of metal except for feedthrough Liquid coolant By flowing liquids (EPO) | |
